Signals of Change and Emerging Trends Discussion
January 14, 2025 @ 11:30 am – 1:00 pm
RSVP to reserve your spot for Future Forward Wichita’s January Signals of Change and Emerging Trends event. Seats are limited!
We will talk about signals of change and emerging trends chosen from the “Lead from your CHEST” list of future factors. These five factors have been identified as having the greatest potential for disruption or acceleration in the future.
Building your foresight skills will have practical use in both your work and personal life, including:
- Stimulating Critical Thinking: Foresight encourages us to analyze information, challenge assumptions and biases, and think critically about the future.
- Enhancing Problem-Solving Skills: By anticipating potential challenges, we develop strategies to overcome them.
- Boosting Creativity: Exploring different implications and scenarios can spark innovative ideas and solutions.
- Reducing Anxiety: Understanding potential future challenges can help alleviate anxiety by providing a sense of control and preparedness.
- Improving Decision-Making: By considering future implications, we can make more informed decisions that align with long-term goals.
Discussing future implications helps us proactively navigate uncertainty, adapt to change, and create a better future. It’s a mental exercise that strengthens our cognitive abilities and emotional resilience. Those who use foresight skills to talk about and imagine the future feel more prepared as the future unfolds.
We will discuss one signal of change or emerging trend from each of the five CHEST categories listed above.
